This is largely because speed limits are too low. In safe conditions, most roadways are built in such a way that a modern vehicle can safely go 10-20mph over the speed limit without difficulty or increased risk. There are several reasons for this.
The point though is that timidity in a driver is actually more dangerous than exceeding the speed limit. Being consistently below the speed limit is a strong sign of timidity.
